I guess technically true? What the fuck is he? Wow, this shit is crazy. He need to smoke weed. I guarantee he does not.

it was more of a joke entry, but in actuality his dated, kinda lame novelty records were one of the many precursors to sampling...so there's something positive in what he did. oh, but he did shoot himself in the head sometime in the '80s. it's certainly a chunky discog though, to say the least:

as far as rap/hiphop goes:
Doom has one of the strongest and most consistent catalogs.
Outkast as well.
Tribe obviously
Wu-Tang (including all their solo shit)
Flying Lotus
Madlib
Kanye's is strong through and through

This is a weird one, but Sam Cooke. I say "weird" because most of his best material (and original songs) are on his Greatest Hits albums taken from 7" records. His actual full length records and collections are amazing too, so it's a win all around. He's my "can only listen to records from this artist for eternity" pick.
